I'm guessing that dropping a foil kite in waves is a lot more consequential than an inflatable

I’m curious about this as well. …. Completely unscientifically, in the active foil groups on Facebook like SABFoil and Armstrong, the pumpers seem to favor the smaller, thinner rear stabs. There’s active foil groups on facebook? Where? Where else do kiters hangout besides here and sea breeze ? http...

For prone 72cm is sometimes too long around me unless the tide is high and there's no kelp. A few guys ride even shorter masts

I don't know know why glide would matter when you have a kite providing you with consistent power. Of course for pump foiling it's hugely important.

If this is anything like their wave tracking you'll need the Fenix 7 sapphire solar to get decent accuracy. It's a $1K watch new but often on ebay for much less. The reason is the AG3335M dual band gps chip. Garmin's wave tracker didn't at all for me when using lower model watches but with the upgra...

One thing I don’t understand is the interplay between aspect, ratio, size and pumpability. Don't forget shimming :) Higher aspect ratios have more gradual lift and descent which requires more speed to be effective. But once you're flying they pay off with less drag and thus better pumping. Bigger f...

On closer inspection I noticed some sand junking up a rubber seal. Cleaned it off and no more leak

It looks like the bubbles are coming out of the threads. What's the suggested fix?
